How to cloth up Pre-Rigged character

[sebastian-perkowski]

Hi.I have a problem. I have a model of naked character and shirt, pants, shoes and hair as poly objects. I made a rig and setup (tut. from DT) and i dont know how to put the clothes on character. Should i group everything up or parent something? I would prefer to bind and weight just the naked model and then using ncloth make the clothes fit/lay on the character model. Is it possible? I tried to find answer in google but didnt find anything interesting.
Pleasy help me. I have not much time because it is a project for my bachelor degree that i have to complete until the end of year. I am using Maya 2008.

Without fancy cloth simulation? Wheigh the rigged character naked and all, then make your clothes fit properly around them and apply a wrap deformer, now the clothes will stick to the body without them needing to become rigged.

I would agree with Daikath. Cloth simulation is very resource expensive. A good wrap deformer would probably suffice depending on the caliber of the project.

If this is your first time with nCloth and on a senor project, I would stay away. Not only will it take forever to render, but you will have to quickly learn to tweak cloth attributes to achieve what you want. Not a good idea.
